I believe exactly what I said. I could have remained dormant on the reservation like many of my surrounding family. But refused to waist away my existence in poverty. Got off my ass left the Res found a job, educated myself with business night courses.

Saved enough money to get a down payment on a piece of equipment. worked 7 days a week when possible. Then married a blond Norwegian who was my Accountant & Book keeper. Together we bid clearing and construction contracts in the oilfields, mining forestry and power lines, built a reasonably successful company and a yard full of machinery which we spent 50 years accumulating. Then handed it over to a son.
Today we are retired with a small ranch in BC and a winter home in the Country club in Mesa Az.

It can be done. Just takes dedication and a refusal to give up when going gets rough.

As Author Megan Kelly says.
Some are satisfied to just amble through life with whatever it hands them.
Successful people refuse to accept that populous line of thinking. They make a personal choice to do what it takes to never give in and, "Settle for more"

I probably don't have to say I am Conservative , Republican, And lean slightly Right.
